The leaf

The leaf

 

Look to the leaf

Floating in the wind

It’s immaculately conceived

Because it has not sinned

 

The leaf just drifts through the world

Free from restraint

It doesn’t fight like the bold

Nor cry like the faint

 

The leaf lives for each day

It doesn’t make preparation

It’s not burdened with duty

Neither obligation

 

It teaches us so much

Like not to stay down

Just grab hold of the wind

And release that frown

 

It doesn’t hate

Nor wallow in grief

I wish we were more like this little leaf
